Chapter 870: Return to Beijing Again (4)

The two Indian ladies exchanged goods with Bing'er Xue'er, giving them the biggest discount on the basis of making money on their own. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info to continue to cooperate in the future, because in their opinion, Bing'er Xue'er has a steady stream of novelty goods in her hands. The gems exchanged by Bing'er Xue'er have more than a dozen jewelry boxes full of them. After being transported back to the capital by air, Yun'er sold it in small quantities with all-purpose glue on hairpins and other jewelry, and immediately became a fashion commodity for noble ladies and boudoir girls in the capital. This is a real gemstone and jadeite, and there is also the best glass in diamond and jadeite, the king of gemstones.

Mrs. Ashmita and Mrs. Kieran also made a fortune. Everyone gave Cher a very delicate jewelry box. The rosewood is covered with gold horns, which are inlaid with dense gemstones of different sizes, which are really shining and radiant. Xue'er asked Xiao Eniang to carry the two jewelry boxes back in the air. Because it was a gift from two Indian ladies, it was transferred to the two mothers. When a daughter's gift to her mother is still justified, right?

Yun'er received these two jewelry boxes and hurriedly sent them to Fu Jin, and frightened Fu Jin: "This is too precious, right?" ”

Yun'er said, "This is a gift from our daughter to the two of us. ”

"Then you just left one, why did you bring them all?"

"You're the boss, you pick first."

Bing'er and Xue'er were also interesting enough to the two Indian ladies, and took out resin ornaments peonies, gilded galloping horses, silk screen flower vases, Barbie dolls, Jingdezhen tea sets, and glass handicrafts swans for them to choose their favorite as gifts.

"Wow, my God's grandfather! Little fairy, how can you have such a delicate and noble thing? By the way, you are the princess of the Qing Kingdom. ”

Xue'er smiled: "Dear Lady Ashmita, I am the princess of the Qing Kingdom, but these things are not produced in the Qing Kingdom. When I left the house, I was robbed by the bad guys, and I couldn't have taken anything with me. And in the Qing Kingdom, we girls can't have such a thing. This was brought back by my father, the young mother you met, and my uncle, who followed our Buddhist master from a wandering. ”

"Oh! Is that a faraway place? Can you tell me what that place is? ”

"I'm sorry, it's not that I didn't tell you, it's that even my father doesn't know how far that strange country is from the Qing Kingdom. They went by boat, and they didn't know how many days they had been walking, and they had been sleeping. ”

"Isn't it the legend of your Qing Kingdom, what overseas Three Immortal Mountains? Abbot, Yingzhou and Penglai? ”

"Madame, you are so familiar with Middle-earth culture. According to my father, it doesn't seem to be that kind of place. It is also a country, and there is a shortage of antiques in that place, but there is a shortage of old antiques. Moreover, there were no Qing coins there, so the master asked my father to bring a few antiques and go there to buy these things with the money that people could spend. ”

"It's so precious. Your father's master is not a simple person! Even it is not a place where the gods stay, and it seems to be much richer than the Qing Kingdom and India. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? ”

Looking at Ashmita's expectant face, Cher said, "I don't know too much about it, I was only six years old when they traveled. I don't know if the master won't let me say it or what, they don't talk about that place much. I only know that there are 1.3 billion people in that place, and I have to look at the traffic lights when crossing the street. By the way, the bicycle I rode when you went to the house was bought by my father for our children. It seems that it is much more civilized than the Qing Dynasty, and the materials are also more abundant than the Qing Kingdom, so I don't know much about anything else. ”

Ashmita was a little frustrated, let out a long sigh and said, "You know what? I have been to many places, not only in the East, but also in France, England, Sweden, etc., in the West, and I have been adrift with my husband for half my life. You don't even know about that place, and I'm afraid I don't have a chance. So that's it, right? ”

Her words are humorous, what do you mean by that? What else can I do if I don't? So I started talking about ornaments.

"My little fairy, I know that the women of the Qing Kingdom attach great importance to jewelry, and your craftsmen there are also very skillful, so I will exchange the gems for your ornaments. First of all, I'll tell you that I'll make money by selling these things, so I won't let you suffer. Don't worry. There is no absolute fairness in the price of this thing, but I will not exchange the price of Qing gems for your ornaments, it will be calculated according to the price here, and you can rest assured that I will not suffer. You have a saying, 'Brothers settle accounts', but conscience must come first. It can be said that neither of you is a business material, too kind. However, if you meet me, a person who appreciates kindness, don't worry, I will give you a fair price. Each ornament gives you a box of gems, not a box the size of your clothes, oh, that's called a box. ”

One sentence made Bing'er Xue'er laugh.

"I don't have so many diamonds, and that doesn't work, so I'll give you small gems to set in your jewelry. I promise that none of them are fake, and if you find any fake, curse me. ”

"Lady Ashmita, you are serious. Where does that happen according to your character? I'm going to say you've given too much, how many gems are you filled? You can hold thousands of small gems in a jewelry box, right? ”

"It's because it's small, it's not worth a lot of money! Didn't I tell you, it was the Indian royal family who brought it back directly from the gem mines in Nepal. Among them, the queen picked out that she didn't want, I was her cousin, and she didn't even blink an eye when she gave me things. As soon as she was happy, she rewarded me with everything, and once she actually said that she would reward her husband to me, and I said who is rare, a big rascal with a hearty turnip. ”

Cher held back her laughter so hard, this Lady Ashmita was so frank that she dared to say anything.

"Little fairy, are you talking, okay or not?"

"You're giving too much."

"Are you sure you're giving too much?"

Cher nodded.

Ashmita went out. Cher is confused, is she angry? After a while, he came back and brought another box:

"Well, add this."

"What are you doing? I've already said that you gave too much, why did you give it back to me? ”

"Didn't you nod?"

"yes, nodding is making sure you're giving too much."

"Looks like you're having a hard time adapting to our habits. Our custom is that nodding is not counted as shaking the head. Our understanding is that you nod your head to 'no', and if you shake your head, it's a positive answer. ”

Xue'er quickly shook her head, and Ashmita said again: "You are an honored guest, and as a host, you must do whatever you want. You shake your head to mean that you are giving less, so this box is for you. ”

Xue'er learned the exotic words of Xiao Eniang: "I'm going crazy!" Honorable Madam, you are bullying us. ”

Ashmita laughed, and she did it on purpose, of course. But he's still a very wise person and very funny. Joking doesn't make people feel ridiculed.

"The little fairy said, what should I do? You are Your Royal Highness the Princess, Chrysostom. ”

"That's easy, Mr. Honorable, go get two more ornaments."

"Huh? No way? How can you do such a business? Such a delicate ornament, don't you change a little more? ”

"Our business should be mutually beneficial, not just me making money unilaterally."

"I'll make money! Go to a country with a big nose, swing your ornaments out, all dumbfounded, what pounds, what francs, what crowns, all of them. ”

Cher was struck by her humor: "You are such a happy person. ”

"You are wrong, little fairy, if you know that I am a man who has been abandoned by my husband, you know that I am seeking pleasure on my own."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to make you sad."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's already in the past. From the time we got married to the fifteenth year of our marriage, we were still very affectionate, but later, he probably disliked me a little because the official became bigger. One by one, young women are all around, it's nothing, women can still live very chic without men. I now have two big houses, one for my son and one for myself. I also have a lot of money, and I can go wherever I want. And he didn't say he didn't want me, but he was cold to me and didn't take it to heart. Oh, the pony has brought the ornaments. ”

The ornaments Bing'er brought were packed in boxes, and when you looked at the box, you knew that the contents were expensive. When she opened it, Ashmita's eyes widened: "Oh my God, what kind of fish is this?" ”

"This one is a goldfish, made of glass, stained glass. This is a sailboat, made of stainless steel, which means smooth sailing, and I hope that your career will be smooth sailing and all your wishes will come true in the future. ”

"Great, great. I like it. There's still a box of gems missing. ”

"What are you doing? It's already too much for you to take anything, and I'll be angry if you take it again. ”

"Alright then, I think you're at a loss."

"There is no such thing. Take these gems back to decorate the hairpin, it will definitely be the icing on the cake. I don't know what kind of ornaments you like, these few are not satisfied. ”

"Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied. I'm a businessman, it doesn't matter if I suffer a small loss, I don't want to suffer a loss in such a big business, don't worry, I will make money. If you trust the two of us very much, we will tell you the specialties of India, and tell me what you like, my caravans often go to and from India, Nepal, Myanmar and other countries, and even more often to your country's Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other provinces, and also often to your country's interior such as Sichuan, the two lakes and the coastal areas. Our targets are silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, porcelain from Jiangxi, and preserved fruits, candied fruits, dried seafood and local handicrafts from the mainland. Our Indian specialties include Indian essential oils, Darjeeling black tea, divine oil, wooden bracelets, Kashmir carpets, various spices, old sandalwood, Indian dates, mati rice, painted vases, Indian shawls, Qi Nan sunken wood Buddha beads, curries, saris, etc., all at a very cheap price. ”

"What are the essential oils and divine oils you are talking about?"

"Indian essential oil is a kind of incense, which is extracted from the flowers, roots, leaves, stems, branches, wood, skin, seeds or secretions of spice plants, through distillation, dry distillation, extraction, pressing and other processes, with a fragrance of essential oil substances, which also has a wonderful medical effect on the human body. Divine oil is a different kind of thing. Originally called Buddha Essence, it was carefully formulated by a well-known Buddhist monk to help people find pleasure and satisfaction between the bed. ”

Xue'er couldn't listen to this kind of topic the most, so she quickly interrupted and said, "You said there are wooden bracelets here?" ”

"Wooden bracelets, you ask? The wooden bracelet is a hand-painted bracelet in Kashmir, India, with bold and gorgeous colors without losing the natural harmony of natural flowers and grass decorations, because it is wooden, very cheap, and can be given away. ”

"And what kind of curry are you talking about?"

"Curry is the essence of Indian cuisine, the ancestor of spiciness, the spice used in the kitchen. I'm afraid that you Qing people don't enjoy this taste very well. I suggest you buy a little essential oil, Darjeeling black tea, Kashmiri carpets, all kinds of spices, fragrant rice, shawls, all these things that you can use. The sari is an Indian woman's garment, and although it is beautiful, it cannot be worn in the Qing Kingdom. And your purchase should focus on spices and black tea, fragrant rice. ”

In the second rush to Yunnan for a few years, Bing'er Xue'er did a lot of business, hands and feet are also opened, this time back to Beijing to see that the business in the house is very large, in addition to the food business, there are handicrafts, southern fruits, cloth, and add gems, spices and medicinal materials. The spices were processed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the concocted medicinal materials were under the responsibility of the Tai Hospital, which meant that the gemstone business was not taking a big step. Wang Ye Fujin and Bing'er Xue'er both felt that the profits were too big. If the price is low, other jewelry stores will go out of business, and if the price is high, it will be so cheap, and I can't bear it.

Wang Ye Fujin and Yun'er went to the temple in the house to burn incense and ask the master, and the master's voice appeared. Tell Wang Ye and others: "You all have a knot in your hearts, that is, you feel sorry for the big profits." In fact, you don't know much about the profits of doing business. Why are those gemstones so expensive? On the one hand, scarcity is expensive, don't look at the gem mine in Nepal, but that is also digging a little less, unlike grain, there are seeds that can be planted in the second year. The second reason is that Nepal or India is too far away from the Qing Dynasty, and you have to travel thousands of miles, pass through the smoky land of Lingnan, and guard against bandits and robbers who appear at any time, all at the cost of your lives. Just like the four Tang monks and apprentices studying scriptures in the west, aren't there many Dharma protectors protecting them? Otherwise, Tang Seng would have been eaten by monsters a long time ago. But don't just because Master said that someone is protecting you, you don't know the depths. You must use the cultivator's mental method to restrain yourself. Bing'er Xue'er has to go to Yunnan three times, and it will be the last time. It's General Zhao who needs your help. Wu Sangui is going back to Kunming in the near future, he is at the end of his rope, the more rampant and inhumane he becomes, and the more he struggles. You also have to go all the way from the coast to the south, and make seafood intentions, and the Queen Mother Restaurant has the seafood you shipped back, and the profits have multiplied. Kangxi needed too much silver to withdraw from the feudal domain, and soon there would be an influx of refugees into the capital after the Yellow River breached. Silver is also needed for disaster relief and pacification, so you have to travel south. Master knows that it is very hard, and the wind, frost, rain, snow, heavy rain and hail along the way, as well as food, lodging and rest are not normal life. But you still have to go.

Since Master said it, that's what should be done. Bing'er and Xue'er, who haven't been in the house for many days, are about to start heading south again. This is their way of cultivating, and it is also what they have to do.

This time, both Shi Qing and the outline of the southbound have participated, and in the past two years, they have basically eaten their old books, and they can't perform if they want to. So I still want to go out with Bing'er, whether it's business or performance, they will do whatever Bing'er does. After Uncle Zhou's death, the outline took Uncle Shi, Shi Qing, Kumei and the child to Wuqiao, and settled the old man, woman and child, and only Shi Qing and the outline could come out.
